Alternative P.E. Option

Cincinnati Christian Schools allows a student to earn required Physical Education credits through participation on a CCS sports team. This option to earn credit is only applicable in cases for which a student is in need of the P.E. credits necessary to meet graduation requirements.

This option:

can only be used one time towards high school graduation requirements,

cannot be used by a Senior, and

is not an option for students who have already obtained the required ½ credit of P.E.

To receive ¼ credit of Physical Education, the student must meet the following requirements:

Be enrolled at CCS as a full-time or satellite student. (Note: Menu students are not eligible for this option.)

Be a member of a CCS-sponsored athletic team or be involved in an alternative organized athletic activity approved by the CCS Principal.

Participate in 60 hours of physical activity related to the athletic team. This physical activity may include conditioning, practicing, or playing in a game. These hours should be logged on the CCS form for Alternative P.E., and must be verified by the coach with his/her signature.

Must complete with written responses to the 6 questions found in the Alternative P.E. packet.

Give a presentation to a panel of CCS staff that demonstrates and explains your activity.

It is the student’s responsibility to complete the work in a timely and appropriate fashion in order to earn the credit. There will be no reminder or follow up from a teacher regarding Alternative P.E. work. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, AND WILL RESULT IN NO CREDIT.

To Sign-up
